Honestly never gave two monkeys about sound from GT1-GT4, I was young so never picked up on car sounds. Problem is when I heard about Forza on Xbox and heard those car sounds, gave me cargasams and thought why on earth doesn't GT sound like that at all.

I still play GT6 but not everyday, I still cringe so much on Premium cars sound like im hoovering up a cat or something.

This update that is supposedly is meant to be coming in an update to GT6 if that, better make all premium cars sound good and beyond that aswell.

I don't have a PS4 and won't get that until GT7 or I may get it just for Project Cars / Driveclub or what ever. But not any time soon, in no rush.

Yes they physics are there and what not but come on, what is the purpose of a car game, to enjoy the cars we own/buy and that means sounding like their counterpart atleast.

I'd want to hear a Supra spool is damn Turbo or Type R civic with it Vtech scream out its engines and not hear $%^&^$% hoover sounds.

If I wanna hear hoover sounds, I would hoover GT6!
 
ugh stop voting for thisforearma non issue.
Look Gt put this up To ask what we want to see in updates it has the most votes in features its not a contest and a lot of people have good points do u actually that because they vote for this that their gonna jump on it probably not but it is a good idea to figure out what people went because sales and online play are way down.

I doubt PD is ever going to look at any of this anyway. Why we Washingtonians gotta argue. :cheers:
Go Seahawks.

Yes thats my main focus ESPN Superbowl Seahawks got a good chance with Beast mode and legion of boom.
 
This _IS_ a real feature. I want to hear the turbo flutter, and the exhaust note. The engine note _IS_ the music for me. Right now the "music" is akin to piping a Justin Bieber hangover diarrhea session directly into my ears. Corn and all.
Nice one got to admit you guys have some funny crap to say I really do hope they fix the engine sounds.
 
Well I read what you people post I never thought this was gonna get so much attention everyone who replies I thank you whether you think its a waste of time or really want new engine sounds its everyone ones right to have an opinion and right to share it almost every one whos replied has had well thought out opinions and its making this fun.If you're one of those people who doesn't like the post about the engines sound need improvement remember its you're choice whether to vote or respond and if you don't care about engine sounds then post something that you feel should be improved.
 
Well, I can only joke and laugh, because it really is so bad its comical. Its not comical that I blew $60 on a game I can hardly stand to play. Thats the part that dissapoints me greatly.

Exahaust sounds,flames,and explosions while downshifting will be perfect.
I wish that engines could sound better some cars are OK and some sound like a vaccum cleaner. wow when I put this up I had no idea this many people agreed about the engine sounds,by the way some of the engines sound so fraud I wonder where they recorded it from.


The 5 zylinderengines (audi) are completely fail.please gt6 make the enginesound, the turbowhistle and the exhaustsound much more realistic.
 
I did some research and dug deep for hours last night and found out that they did use real engine sounds but for only seven cars then tweeked them to what they might sound like and instead of what they should sound like to cut costs that's why some cars sound exactly the same.Rumors have it that Polyphyny knows our gripe and will fix it,If they want to be the Giants of racing they must spend the $ to keep us interested just my opinion you can take it for what its worth.PS I do have a credible source
 
All the people that ask not to vote on this I laugh this is not a contest or bragging contest its to get what you think is important to you in the game or improved if you don't care about engine sounds or want it improved don't vote for it I can care less if this thread is leading in features all I care about is watching peoples opinions and shooting the breeze with fellow gamers and hope that that Polyphyny uses our opinions I don't think any one of the suggestions are dumb it makes for a better game.

Please please please. FIX SOUNDS ASAP PLEASE.
 
One word; Psychoacoustics. PD need to study that & apply what they learn to the sounds in GT6. At the moment they seem to think that recording a raw sound & plonking it straight into the game means it's somehow more real. They seem to have never even heard of sound design.

Only LFA,Scuderia and F430(maybe) and 787B have great engine sounds. Atleast thats my opinion when I tried small headphones,real bass headphones,TV speakers,PC speakers 2.1,and Cinema Stereo Surround

Nice , engine sound need more real !!
 
I don't know about GT6 yet, but for example in GT5 the old FIAT 500 was totally wrong. It sounded like any 4 cylinders engine, while the 500 has a uniqe 2 cylinders sound.

GT5 engine:

Real engine:

:boggled:
 
Gathers Drider Civic (GT4):
Worst sounding GT car ever
(First license test on this video)

Tbh it's not that bad you can hear a deep v6 in the mix, a bit like the 80s f1 cars, but it's been drowned some nasty evil hissy noise

2 cylinder sounds like 4 cylinder, some 4 cyl engines sound just like that
 
I dont even fire GT6 up any more. That is how bad the sounds are - they now detract fromt he simulation emersion.
Superior physics cannot even overcome the dissapointment.
Replace the generic vacuum cleaner sounds.
Please.
The C3, C4, C5, C6 and C7 Corvettes do not sound even remotely like their real counter parts.
I use the semi racing exhaust on the C6 and C7. It sounds pretty good. The earlier Vettes are bad no matter what you do.
 
I thought that was really stupid at first, but a kid in a truck nailed a bridge near my house and I swear it was the exact same sound, but 15x louder.
But i don't think hitting a bathtub is the only sound you should hear when your car crash anywhere anytime.. you know :P

I REALLY want to know where PD got the sound for the Corvette ZR1 in GT5 with the Racing Exhaust installed. That was the most pathetic sounding car in the entire game. I haven't heard it in GT6 yet, but I doubt they haven't changed it.
 
Good gracious they brag about 7.1 surround the new Corvette sounds nothing like a Vette sounds like a riding lawnmore and i have a Pioneer Elite AV and high end mirage surround and it still sounds bad even people that dont play games but know cars agree.

As a Corvette owner, driver and enthusiast whose very close friend owns and runs a Corvette tuning/engine building facility and who has access to and drives has driven in many stock and modded C4, C5, C6 and now even C7 Vettes or all kinds - there is no type of Corvette modded or stock that even sounds anything like the semi racing exhaust in GT4/5/6 or the racing exhaust or even the stock exhausts for that matter.

The sounds are simply wrong.
